Reports surfaced that head coach Steve Sarkisian will add another special assistant the staff, much like he did in 2022 when he hired former TCU head coach Gary Patterson. The belief is this time, it’ll be someone to help on the offensive side of the ball. My take is it should be Todd Dodge. Let’s…

Slinging the ball is especially important in the Texas A&M football team’s offense and being creative in how playmakers get the pass is equally vital. Head coach Jimbo Fisher noted the multiple ways the Aggies are doing that while addressing reporters at the Southeastern Conference Media Days July 21. While quarterback Haynes King will be the signal caller, the coach pointed out the various weapons at his disposal thanks to veterans and newcomers who are expected to contribute in 2022. He signaled out several receivers: juniors Kenyon Jackson, Chase Lane…

Texas A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher gave the Aggies plenty to look forward to and opponents reasons to be very prepared to face them during the 2022 season on the last day of Southeastern Conference Media Days July 21. “This team has me really excited,” he said. “There’s so many competition battles. Everybody talks about quarterback, but there are a lot of them across the board with very talented guys. And when you have talent, that’s what creates greatness. On a daily basis, you have to play on a…

Texas running back Robinson gives insight on the Longhorns

One athlete it seemed everyone wanted to talk to during the Big 12 Conference’s Media Days July 14 was Texas junior running back Bijan Robinson, the media’s selection as the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year after a remarkable 2021 season. Robinson’s stats from last season speak for themselves: 1,264 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns on 213 carries to finish third in the conference. At one point, Robinson led the nation in rushing and was talked about as a Heisman trophy contender. While those comments are appreciated, Robinson views what…

Now that Big 12 head coaches and some of their players wrapped up the two-day event known as Media Days July 13-14, it’s time to review what was learned. Headed into the event, I shared my five questions in the hopes of getting answers. Here’s what is known: Television contracts and the possibility of a conference network. So much of this comes down to the exit and exit fees of Oklahoma and Texas moving to the SEC. The good news is there appears to be a timeline thanks to UCLA…

Texas’ different approach should lead to better results in 2022

The ability to finish a game, especially one the Texas Longhorns are leading, was among the many goals head coach Steve Sarkisian addressed as the last coach to appear during Big 12 Media Days July 14. He noted the Longhorns have been undergoing even more grueling conditioning sessions where they have been on their feet more so they can have the energy to finish contests, especially close ones, in the final quarter. He noted he could have kept what was installed by former head coach Tom Herman or he could…
